3 more Yankees to cut ties with after hitting coach canned

Yankees should also fire Aaron Boone

Let’s face it. The Yankees have bigger problems than just the hitting coach. Yes, Lawson wasn’t doing a good job. Neither has Aaron Boone.

The manager hasn’t had control of injuries, to be fair. He certainly didn’t plan for Aaron Judge missing as much time as he has. That’s just not much of an excuse for the Yankees continual disappointment.

Boone has made head-scratching decisions consistently during games. Sunday alone was an example of that. He took Domingo Germain off the mound after six innings with a pitch count of 74. He had allowed just one hit all game. The result? A 4-1 lead blown, resulting in a 7-4 loss.

The pitching change wasn’t the only frustration. Gleyber Torres committed his ninth error of the season, leading all second baseman, and Boone had the audacity of downplaying his questionable defense this season.

Boone hasn’t taken accountability for his own mistakes, so it’s no surprise he hasn’t held his players accountable either.

Lawson was the first fall guy. If things don’t improve considerably, Boone has to be next up.
